In a stunning upset, Peter Mutharika, Malawi's former president, has reclaimed the presidency at the age of 85, overcoming his previous defeat.
His victory, achieved with a significant 57% of the vote, signals a major shift in Malawian politics and public opinion.
The country faces severe economic challenges, including high inflation and shortages, making this victory particularly significant.
Mutharika now faces the immense task of addressing these issues, promising his voters a return to stable and effective governance.
